While last year’s Windsor Castle Concours of Elegance was a singular occasion as part of Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations, its success in drawing 60 world-class automobiles ensured that it wouldn’t be the last concours of its kind in the United Kingdom. Thus the St. James Concours of Elegance at the Marlborough House will replace it this year, and the entrant list includes some stunning cars, including a dozen from the United States.

Also following last year’s precedent, the St. James’s Concours of Elegance, scheduled for September 5-7, will feature a special Preview Day on Thursday, and will be open to the public on Friday and Saturday. Concours display car owners will be encouraged to dress in fashion appropriate to their car’s era, and the entire event will offer the sophisticated elegance of a high society garden party.

The list of U.S.-owned participating cars, below, is correct at the time of publication and is subject to change. (Note: Images are participating cars; linked images are representations and do not necessarily reflect actual cars participating.)

Admission to the 2013 St. James’s Concours of Elegance is to advance ticket holders only; available tickets are limited, and public admission for Friday/Saturday costs £35 ($53) for entrance from 9:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., £25 ($38) for entrance from 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m., and £12.50 ($19) for children aged 5-16 years.
